on DVD... 177

Edit: 0 from the bottom 100, unless you count the MST3K versions of Manos, Eegah, Mitchell, and Brain that Wouldn't Die.

112 from the Top 250, none from the bottom 100.
Not bad considering I own about 300 DVDs.

59 on DVD from the top 250 (more in other formats). It'll be 61 as soon as "Double Indemnity" and "King Kong" get released, if ever.

4 from the bottom 100, though all four of them are MST3K-ified. Does that count?

No I personally think MST3K does not count for the bottom 100 movies.

48 for me, and only that stunner Robot Monster from the bottom.

45 on top 250 and on bottom 100 I have Robocop 3 and Superman 4 (because I own the box sets)....how could Sin City be on top 250 and Son of the Mask be on bottom 100 if they have not been releeased on DVD yet?

I dont follow that list nor am I trying to complete my collection based on it. That being said, I "happen" to own 49 movies from that list and would consider purchasing 29 more.

No list is perfect but it certainly reflects a lot of votes meaning that a bunch of people that could find there way to imdb.com and sign up really liked them.

The list is jaded? What does that mean? If you think there are some great classics that are overlooked I would not be surprised however unless you're willing to share with us what specific films are missing than it becomes nothing more than a thread fart.

We get it. Just another way of saying that 172 of the 250 films are not worthy of your consideration. How about sharing your 'worthy' list with us so that we can all learn from that?

I have 61 on the top list, with a few I'm planning to buy and several I wouldn't even look at. I have 6 on the bottom list, though. Gotta love MST3K...

Funny story...at my video store the other day, we were all bored and we had no customers, so we printed off the top 250 list to see how many we'd seen. I've seen 178, and own 142!

And I've seen about 23 from the bottom 100, and am proud to say I own none from that list.
